Being recognised as a Top Employer in Belgium underscores Sweco’s ongoing commitment to creating an excellent working environment in which talent can prosper. As a leading architecture and engineering firm, we make an impact through our multidisciplinary projects for a resilient world.

Energy producer ENGIE has reached a new milestone with the construction of Belgium’s highest onshore wind turbine at North Sea Port in Ghent. This impressive wind turbine, standing at 247 meters tall with a capacity of 6.2 megawatts, surpasses the previous record of 238 meters in the same port area. Sweco was responsible for the permit application, the detailed design of the foundation and infrastructure, and the technical report.

Renewable energy sources are crucial tools in achieving ambitious and necessary climate goals. BIPV or Building-Integrated PhotoVoltaics is an application that can play a significant role in this transition. Moreover, it is an application with plenty of room for growth as the technology faces various challenges.

Aquafin has started constructing two CO₂-neutral sludge dryers in Beringen and Roeselare. The residual heat from Biostoom Beringen and the intermunicipal Mirom will be used to dry the sludge from wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs).

In Roeselare, construction has begun on a brand-new VDAB Career Campus, a first of its kind. VDAB will offer its full range of services there, alongside various partner organizations. The DBFM project will be a CO₂-neutral landmark in terms of sustainability. Sweco is proud to lend its expertise as an engineering partner for this realization, made possible in part by support from the European Regional Development Fund. The campus is expected to be operational by early 2027.

The technical installations at CH Les Viviers form the beating, often invisible heart of the hospital for its users. In a healing environment, they are crucial to ensure uninterrupted care. The engineers at Sweco face an additional challenge due to the constant evolution of the medical sector. Therefore, flexibility and expandability are important parameters alongside reliability.

A brand new hospital opens its doors in Charleroi. CH Les Viviers is the largest non-university hospital in the country. As the designer of this healing environment, Sweco, in collaboration with Réservoir A, would like to highlight some key concepts. Also, check out our blog articles about the engineering solutions and general design approach of this exceptional project.

The Van Cauwelaert Bridge is a crucial link in the Antwerp port area on the right bank of the Scheldt. To ensure the future of this connection, the Maritieme Toegang division has entrusted the design of a new movable bridge to Sweco. This bridge will replace the current Van Cauwelaert Bridge by 2029, which is in poor condition due to material fatigue.

De Watergroep’s new office building near Ghent-Sint-Pieters station was designed with a focus on sustainability and water conservation. Sweco provided the design of the installations and oversaw the BREEAM certification, which resulted in an Excellent certificate for this green and innovative building.

Cities continue to grow, but often at the expense of nature. Forests and grasslands are replaced by concrete, destroying valuable ecosystems and making us more vulnerable to the effects of climate change. Discover in the latest Urban Insight report how regenerative design can help cities restore biodiversity.
